We’ll hear about a patrol vehicle vendor that Mineral County ordered from that is facing allegations of business fraud in multiple states.

We’ll hear details on a pending felony charge in Flathead County, where a man allegedly bit deputies during his arrest.

And we’ll learn about a new four-year grant that will allow Flathead County’s Crisis Assistance Team to eventually expand their ability to respond to calls 24/7.
